Chapter 20 Confession

Han Jinghuai smiled and reached out to tap her head.

"Silly girl!"

Xu Wanning pouted and complained:

"Han Jinghuai, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had roasted rabbit? It's so scary in this dark cave!"

"Okay, okay, little ancestor, it's okay if I'm wrong!"

Han Jinghuai turned around, gently took her hand, and walked into the cave slowly.

The cave was not as scary as Xu Wanning had imagined. Instead, it was kept clean and tidy. There were several kerosene lamps on the wall and a bamboo bed in the middle.

There was a patched quilt on the bed. Not far from the bamboo bed was a simple wooden table with a few roasted rabbits and pheasants on it. The roasted rabbit meat looked shiny and oily inside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting bursts of barbecue aroma.

Xu Wanning blinked her big eyes and looked around and touched things like a curious baby.

"Wow, I didn't expect there's a hidden world inside this cave~"

“It’s so cool here!”

"This seems like a good place to escape the summer heat!"

"Han Jinghuai, how did you find this place?"

"Han Jinghuai, do you live here all the time?"

Han Jinghuai looked at her lively and active figure, his expression relaxed inadvertently, and he smiled and explained:

"I discovered this cave many years ago when I was hunting."

"Sometimes when I go hunting, I often spend the night in the mountains. So when I have nothing to do, I make a bed in the cave so that I can spend the night in the mountains."

"Oh, this place is really nice."

"I just don't know if there will be wolves at night~"

Han Jinghuai smiled helplessly and urged:

"Okay, let's eat the barbecue!"

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Xu Wanning was no longer reserved. She sat down, picked up two rabbit legs, and started to eat them in big mouthfuls. The rabbit meat was lean but not dry, and was sprinkled with Han Jinghuai's special seasoning, which was spicy and very appetizing.

Han Jinghuai looked at her with a half-smile and stretched out his slender fingers to wipe the corner of her lips.

"Good boy~"

"Eat slowly, it's all yours."

"Ningning, let's get along!"

With a "pop", the half rabbit leg in her hand fell to the ground. Xu Wanning's face flushed red like a boiled shrimp. This was the first time in her life that someone confessed their love to her. She was inevitably a little overwhelmed for a moment...

When she was born in modern times, she was single for most of her life. Although she was already 22 years old, because of her prominent family background and noble status, no boy had ever dared to pursue her openly.

"Xu Wanning, I really like you!"

"I swear that I, Han Jinghuai, will always treat you well."

"I'm already 23 years old now, and I've saved some money. It's not much, but after you marry me, I'll give it all to you for safekeeping!"

"I know you will definitely come back to the city in the future. I will go wherever you go!"

Xu Wanning blushed, bit her lip and muttered softly:

"How shameless! Who would want to marry you..."

"I don't want to marry you!"

Han Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, his expression became serious, and he grabbed her hand with cold eyes and asked:

"Who do you want to marry then?"

"Xu Wanning, I tell you that you can only marry me in this life!"

"You're dreaming about marrying someone else!"

Xu Wanning's eyes were red and she felt very wronged.

"Han Jinghuai, you hurt me..."

After she finished speaking, tears began to fall. After all, she shouldn't have had too much hope in Han Jinghuai. A villain is a villain, and there are some things that she may not be able to change.

Han Jinghuai finally came to his senses. He thought about what he had just done to Ningning. His heart felt like it was twisted and ached.

"Ningning, I'm sorry."

"I, I really didn't mean it!"
